Homeopathy does work

[Nucular]

A TURING TEST COMPUTER CANDIDATE?

Hmmm, needs some work I think.

 

[Ashles]

Hmmm, needs some work I think.

That's why I said a candidate.

Definitely not a winner - you need to be able to emulate human intelligence for that.

I think I found the source code!

while(true) {
if(questionAsked) {
dontAnswer(question);
}
else {
spitJibberish(randomNumber);
}
}

void don'tAnswer(String quest)
{
printf("EXPLAIN HOW CAN IT NOT WORK");
}
void spitJibberish(int rand)
{
switch(rand) {
case 0: printf("HOMEOPATHIC SURGERY"); break;
case 1: printf("CAN YOU PREDICT ABOUT ME"); break;
//Not finished
}

The ban is good news for me. I hated seeing someone run around making an idiot of himself while using the name of a character I love so much.

What becomes of that username now, Darat? Gone for good? Back into the pool for new users to pick?

Gone for good I'm afraid.

"I hated, ", is this the criteria to put ban?

No.
That had nothing to do with the ban. I think you misunderstood what delphi-ote was talking about.

"I hated, ", is this the criteria to put ban?

Here go the homeopaths, preparing the explanation that they will offer to other homeopaths: "We were banned because the people at the JREF hated us."

Let me spell it out, Homeo Man - When a person violates a rule, action is taken. In this case, that action was a ban. That person might also for whatever reason be hated, but that has nothing to do with the ban.

 

[Rolfe]

That person might also for whatever reason be hated, ....

Well, maybe he was and maybe he wasn't, but that's not what Delphi_ote said. He merely said that he hated seeing the name of a fictional character he liked (Dirk Gently) being used by someone who was talking nonsense.

Rolfe.

 

[Non-Sense Homeopath]

No.
That had nothing to do with the ban. I think you misunderstood what delphi-ote was talking about.

Atleast we are watching this practice on this board. First it was done with Dr. MAS, then with me and then warnings were issued to others. Why?

Because Dr.MAS wasn't following the forum rules, and you implied that you weren't either. Dick Gentry was a previously banned member. Once you're banned, you just can't pick a new username and reregister.

I had nothing to do with anyone being banned. Rolfe explained perfectly what I meant (Thanks, Rolfe!)

Dr. MAS and his groupies (I REFUSE to call them students) are getting in trouble because they are violating the rules of the forum. I also have nothing to do with that, but since neither he nor his groupies seem to be contributing any constructive information, I can't say I'm going to miss them.

The forum is very open here about who is banned and why. I admire very much the way it's administered. Look at Darat's response to me! The admins read the threads and comment openly on what is going on and why. They answer questions and are friendly. They've give people a lot of second chances and I've only seen them approach people in a friendly manner.

I've read the posts about why these people were banned. There's nothing mysterious or hateful about it. They violated clearly posted rules for selfish reasons. Do I feel sorry for them? Ha!

HOW? prove it in scientific terms.

Hello fool Skeptic,

@ How do you prove that Dr. MAS was violating the rules? Please explain in scientific terms?

@ He admitted, his personal secretary and institution colleagues were using his account. How can you prove this in term of scientific terms?

@ If you say, you judge on members own words then he is also saying he knows how does homeopathy work and it works superbly then why are you disinclined to believe on him? Prove it?

@ If he says, his account is in use of many members then you do accept as true and you don't want scientific explanation from him and if he says, homeopathy does work then you don't want to believe and insist scientific explanation. Why

Why the double standard? Please elaborate.

Dick Gentry has the option to ask his brother to get registeration at randi forum and he can also instruct his brother to send “this and that”, will you put ban on Dick Gentry’s brother account. If Dick Gentry sits side by side with his brother and instruct his brother to run according to Dick Gentry’s instruction then will you put ban on brother’s account? If at some time, his brother is sick and he can’t type the post himself and Dick Gentry helps him in typing his post. Is this acceptable to you? How can you prove on scientific grounds?

Hello fool Skeptic,

Hello.

@ How do you prove that Dr. MAS was violating the rules? Please explain in scientific terms?

His account was used by more than one person. Clear?

@ He admitted, his personal secretary and institution colleagues were using his account. How can you prove this in term of scientific terms?

I'll take his word for it.

@ If you say, you judge on members own words then he is also saying he knows how does homeopathy work and it works superbly then why are you disinclined to believe on him? Prove it?

Because homeopathy doesn't work.

@ If he says, his account is in use of many members then you do accept as true and you don't want scientific explanation from him and if he says, homeopathy does work then you don't want to believe and insist scientific explanation. Why

Multiple people. One account. Admission of guilt. Nothing else required.
Claims of working homeopathy. No evidence. No theory. Explanation required.

Why the double standard? Please elaborate.

Because the claim that he is breaking the rules is quite acceptable, considering he's a homeopath. Homeopaths tend to have loose ethics. Like lying. Like taking money from sick people in exchange for placebos. They also tend to not be very smart, which is why this came to light.
The claim that homeopathy works goes against all current theories of physics, chemistry and biology. I need more than the say so of a bunch of morons who need to use large colorful fonts when trying to make a point.

Ask Darat. Ask Randi. Ask whoever makes the rules for this forum.

 

[Homeo Man]

Dr. MAS and his groupies .... are violating the rules of the forum. I also have nothing to do with that, but since neither he nor his groupies seem to be contributing any constructive information, I can't say I'm going to miss them.

I am in the opinion that Skeptics are violating the rules in the form of bad family members. They also admitted and said, they have too many accounts on family members name. Dr. MAS and his group never said, their family members are registered at this forum. Dr. MAS said, to create “un-known” family members from the same computer and to utilize that member to deceive randi forum members should not be permittable. This is best solution is to allow Dr. Mas’s secretary to use his account but he must write his name “for dr.mas” in the post, This is more suitable then the previous, if you allow his secretary to create another user and we have no idea who that person is. In this way, no actual member will enter in the forum in the name of “fictitious family members”?

I think this is more sensible approach and can be explained on scientific grounds. Executives never operate their email accounts. There is staff who operates accounts for them. What is wrong with this rule? The previous rule is un-scientific and cannot be explained or you can’t catch the person but Dr. MAS’s rule is more appropriate and feasible then yours.

You said, Dr. MAS and his groups “ARE” violating the rules then why Darat is silent. It means he is allowing violating the rules at forum? “ARE” means they are still violating but he never appeared at this forum for many days. How can he violate the rules when he does not appear at forum?

Explain in scientific terms.

 

[Perpetual Notion]

If you have a problem with the rules, then you need to PM Darat and ask him to clarify them for you. Administrators do not read every post on every thread and probably will not see your post. I'm sure he'll be glad to clarify the rule for you as he did for Dr. MAS.

 

[Homeo Man]

Hello.

His account was used by more than one person. Clear?



How it is clear, who told you? He might be lieing?



I'll take his word for it.



I never heared such ruling in discussion forum. If he says, no, my previous statement was wrong then? will you uplift the ban? and then again he says, he is saying right now and his account is use by his secretary then? and lastly if he does not tell but ask his secretary to send posts without mentioning his name then how can you prove that? when actually he violates the rule? For God Sake, be a sensible man and never interogate on non-sense issues.




Because homeopathy doesn't work.



Prove it, in double blind trial and win one million rupees.



Multiple people. One account. Admission of guilt. Nothing else required.



I am not against putting ban. But before putting ban you must clear the situation on scientific grounds which is so easy in the world of computer. If you cannot then tell me, I will tell you the explanation. Your cradibility is (words taken from nch forum), suspension was imposed on non-sense when his ip was resolved at hong kong. What is his fault? If you cannot resolve IP address correctly then it was not his non-sense mistake. Tell me how do you resolve the IP. I can explain you in better way.

Why should I, when they are reading this post. I am not expecting anything sensible from them.

Thanks for the guidance.

Whenever, Darat will visit this forum, he can reply. I don't expect anything positive from him.

 

[Perpetual Notion]

Just be sure that you've PM'd him so that he can address your concerns. To do this, just click on his name at the top of the forum.

I realize that you've been on different forums and that the rules were different there. I know that I post on a few others myself and different forums have different rules and they have them for their own reasons. There's no consistency on the internet, as I'm sure you've discovered

Dr.MAS is not banned. He was suspended for a brief period. Look up the diference.

Prove it, in double blind trial and win one million rupees.

The million rupee sham is not to prove that homeopathy doesn't work. It's to prove that it's paranormal. To do that I'd need to prove that homeopathy does work, and that it works by paranormal means.

I am not against putting ban. But before putting ban you must clear the situation on scientific grounds which is so easy in the world of computer. If you cannot then tell me, I will tell you the explanation. Your cradibility is (take from nch forum), suspension was imposed on non-sense when his ip was resolved at hong kong. What is his fault? If you cannot resolve IP address correctly then it was not his non-sense mistake. Tell how do you resolve the IP. I can explain you better way.

An IP resolving to Hong Kong means he is either in Honk Kong, or using a proxy in Hong Kong. The latter means he's trying to hide his identity. And I'm not explaining to you how an IP is resolved. You can look it up.

Why should I, when they are reading this post. I am not expecting anything sensible from them.

Noone is expecting anything sensible form you either.

By the way, I will now treat "HomeoMan" and "Non-sense Homeopath" as if they were Kumar. Notice I'm not claiming that they are. At least not yet.
